Abstract: Energy saving in all-air air-conditioning systems can be significantly improved by using free cooling application. This application, commonly known economizer cycle, is used when outside conditions are suitable, being cool enough to be used as a cooling medium. The most important and characteristic parameter for free cooling is local climatic features. However, detailed analysis of weather data determines the free cooling potential of a region. In this study, energy analysis of the free cooling applications with the outdoor air temperature and enthalpy controls are carried out for a commercial building conditioned by all-air air conditioning system in Antalya. The results obtained from the sample building analysis show that for all working modes the highest energy saving ratio is obtained by enthalpy control strategy
